Sorry Pct, can't afford your tubes unless they cost zero... Gotta put a lid on my spending if I'm ever going to afford an upgrade to the HD600!

In addition to being a funny man, you are also a wise one )))

Speaking of headphones, I bought my HD800S from Jan Meier. He is great guy to deal with and has some good headphones. http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/

Question: One of my pair of EL11s have lose bases. Doesn't seem to affect performance at all. But to avoid possible damage I want to glue them tight. I've been thinking about Super Glue but have read that because of heat generated by tubes it won't last long. Anyone have any thoughts as to a better glue to use for this purpose?

Nail varnish will also do the trick.

@rosgr63 are we ever going to have that coffee? Jokes aside, I'd be thrilled if we did.

Really? I was researching Jan Meier when I was looking for an amp!

(...) You have a great amp in the Elise and a decent DAC in the Mimby, I would think you would be looking at HD700/HD800, T1g1 or similar headphones to really get the most out of your impressive gear.

Ya, everybody keeps telling me that; too bad I'm not sitting on a mountain of money... probably need to start saving for those top–tier cans the old–fashioned way!

I bought HD800S from Jan soon after it came out and was very difficult to find anywhere. And he gave me a great price. Highly recommend him. But don't think he accepts piggy banks in payment

From the equipment and the way that you describe what you're hearing, I really believe where you need to go is a better headphone. There is nothing wrong with the 600, but you can do much better by going to the seven or eight hundred which Amazon has a sale on the Sennheiser 800 right now for $982, which is expensive but under a grand. I had the T1 and I have the 800 and the 700 I had two pair of the 650 and of all the phones that I've had so far the 800 stands out as the best I have heard. I am really looking forward to comparing it to the 800s in the future. But I think if you improve your headphone you will realize that the equipment that you have is quite sufficient.

Come out for Labor Day and we'll have an HD800S party, but you have to bring Gumby (and Connor)

This is your sign. Time to say bye bye to the HD600s - and to any hope of future financial security

But I think better keep stuffing the piggy bank for a while and then mortgage your future for a HD800. It has stood the test of time.

Unfortunately the offer is limited to the US only. Sticking with the piggy bank plan.

Guys, quick question: anyone here heard/owns an Elear with the Elise? how does it compare with the HD800? Which one would you prefer using with the Elise and why?

Sorry. I haven't heard either. Maybe check with UT on his thread. He has HD800 and I think may have heard Elear.

Guys this comes right on time for me as I am getting a pair of Telefunkens EL12 in the next 4 or 5 days and I am planning to use them as power tubes or drivers I have the converters already. I need to do some tube data I know before I plug them
@pctapzhp your combos are kick ass.

Right now I am listening to the Mullard's and Tung-Sol's, wife is not home so I am kicking the speakers, hee hee.

Keep the music playing....
